  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    What are your plans for 2017?

    I am working on a plan to see the full solar eclipsed of the sun in August. My dad really wants to see it as it his last opportunity and fir me I think I would be well into my 90s. We'll have to head North to catch it. Thinking of maybe Wyoming or Idaho. Sent from my GT-N8013 using OB Talk...

    I need your Winter Camping Tips

    I've been thinking of something like that for my Oztent. I've heard that propane source like these produce a lot of moisture. Any experience with that? I am good with cold weather camping but if I could get a warm tent, why not? Sent from my GT-N8013 using OB Talk mobile app

    Mobile HF questions

    Check out NVIS Antenna and propagation. Not something you want to do mobile but you can home brew an antenna fir a few bucks and they are simple and quick to set up. Great way to hop over a mountain range. Sent from my GT-N8013 using OB Talk mobile app

    Mobile HF questions

    If you are looking to pass packet data (Like text messages) you might read up on APRS. One of the neat things is that you can rely packets through other stations. The trick is there had to be other stations that you can hit to rely through and other than fixed weather stations and digipeaters...

    Roof top tent vs ground tent

    I have an Oztent when I am out with the family or if I am going to have a base camp for a few days. Yes you can really pitch it in under a minute. It is rock solid in the weather and I can almost stand up straight in it. (I'm 6'4"). I like to be able to drive away and leave tge tent set up...

    Why a RTT (roof top tent)?

    I picked up an OZtent two years ago at the Overland EXPO in part because it had been raining and sleeting for to or three days. They had their demo tents the whole time and they were gone dry inside. The only mud inside was from people's muddy boots. I don't let parades march through my tent so...

    Magnetic Antenna Location Question

    Mag mount CB antenna are usually 1/4 Wave antenna. This means that you need a good ground plane. Fortunetly the big hunke of rolling steel that you are putting it on can make a mighty fine one. As expositionnorth pointed out, the ideal place would be the center of the roof. You can also go to...

    OB Watches

    I asked for a basic Timex Watch for Christmas a couple of years ago. Instead my wife got me a pebble Steel. My first reaction was thinking to myself that this was a peace of tech junk that will end up sitting in a drawer and I still needed a new watch. It did not take to long playing around...
